So I have a 4-5 week old Coturnix male who hasn’t been tucking his right wing and today I noticed twitch after he had it wrapped all night. I’m thinking it’s maybe a fracture as there’s no break, no blood or cut, and no other signs of an illness. Through research I found birds can, in fact, fracture a wing, but I couldn’t find anything about quail specifically.

Also, if no one themselves are sure, would an avian vet know the answer? The one nearby me specialized in exotic birds but I’m sure I could find one for poultry that I could call or do an online consultation.

Can you post a video? (Upload to YouTube, then put a link here)
Pictures?
Sorry I had put pictures on the other post but forgot to add them here ahahaha!

I can take a video in the morning once the sun is up, I’ll try to get one of him stretching and twitching as he seems to alternate between the two
